Win Emila’s 2010 Calendar
The printing is scheduled middle of November but the publisher is in need of relevant quotes for my calendar. As they know that my schedule is quite tight, they suggested that I open it to my readers to find the most suitable quotes for all illustrations and win the calendar. Yes, it’s like a small contest and this time the prizes are sponsored by my publisher 😀
So, are you game for it?
Here’s how:
1. Find the best quote that fits each illustration below (you can google or search in the internet).
2. Post the quote (along with the name of the person who quoted it – example: At the touch of love, everyone is a poet ~ Plato)Â along with the illustration/month IDÂ in my comment box. Don’t forget your name and e-mail
3. One person can suggest only one illustration/month to give chance to other people to win as well.
Prizes:
12 x Emila’s 2010 Illustrated Calendar!
Closing date:
8 November 2009
Who can enter:
Local + International

“Blankets wrap you in warmth, quilts wrap you in love.”-Unknown
“Quilts are like friends a great source of comfort, and warmth.”-Unknown
I can’t decide which one is the best because when I look at the illustration, I think about love and friendship between the cat and the lady also the quilt. So deeply.
